Emergency Cushion by Auntie Cookie

Is this not one of the cutest things you have devoured with your eyes? Who would’ve thought that the humble emergency emblem could look so swell as a cushion? The white panel is made from plastisol, for a realistic raised, rubbery feel. Simple, but nevertheless functional, and ultra snugly to perfectly complement a cup of herbal tea. This limited edition screen printed cushion comes courtesy of Melbourne-based designer Shannon Lamden.

I’ve just discovered the work of Arien Valizadeh and I’m very impressed. His Iranian-American background (he studied under a master Farsi Calligrapher) has shaped his artistic vision, which maintains the classical presence of Persian figurative painting.

I’m a big fan of Alex Turner’s side project, The Last Shadow Puppets. It’s just really good music. When I first got their record, I didn’t know if it was a re-issue or if it was brand new. It doesn’t sound like a jokey pastiche. It sounds sincere.
